The famous song judges ruled in favor of Liberante, which competed with the Lee Bo-ram-Ahn Seong-hoon duet, which came out as the third runner and beat Bromance. Liberante continued her momentum and rose to the top spot in the day’s contest.

They beat the duet of Yoo Pacific and Kim Junsu, who were the last contestants. U-Pacific-Kim Junsu sang SG Wannabe’s ‘Living’ (2005 song) with a twist of Korean traditional music.

Bromance, who came on stage as the second runner, performed ‘My Love’ (a 2006 song), and Lee Bo-ram and Ahn Seong-hoon, who came on stage as the third runners, performed ‘Crime and Punishment’ (a 2005 song).
